Black Wall street picked the brain of Ms. Bettie Sixx about her brainchild. So without further ado WELCOME 2 BEDLAM.
BW-Can you tell us about your company bedlam and what sparked you to use such a unique name?
BL-began Bedlam in October of 2010 with my business partner B.Hall. I have been making accessories and embellishing glasses since I was a junior in high school, so for about a million years now, lol. I started embellishing glasses because I actually wear prescription glasses and I used to be teased for it or told that I would be "prettier without glasses," So instead of conforming and asking for contact lenses I decided to start embellishing my own glasses and I just fell in love with it.
When I decided to make a business out of what I do, I wanted a name that reflected my personality and style sense. I am a little crazy, weird, awkward, abnormal, eccentric, whatever you want to call it, lol, but I still love very beautiful things so I needed a name that embodied all of that. I was going through a thesaurus with a close friend of mine and we stumbled across the word Bedlam, which means the place of uproar and noise; beautiful chaos. And that stuck. I think that "beautiful chaos" is the perfect description for the type of woman that I am and many other women as well.
BW-What does bedlam sale?
BL- we sell custom embellished eyewear, shoulder eppaulettes, ties and bow ties. We used to sell many other types of accessories but we've decided to hone in on our perfected skills. Also there are so many other great earring makers out of the bay area and we really want to offer something aside from that.
BW-Who is Bedlams ideal customer?
BL-Bedlam's ideal customer is someone who is abnormal and they relish in their abnormalities.
BW-What made you start your own company?
BL- Honestly, peer pressure, lol. I really had no desire to make a business out of what I do but my family and friends kept pressuring me into do it. I am very introverted person and I am sort of a recluse so I really wasn't looking forward to the wave of popularity I received, but at the end of the day I am glad that I took their advice. I love Bedlam and all of the Bedlamaniacs. I wouldn't trade it for the world.
